This organ was originally built by Morgan or possibly by Morgan and Pollard for the Methodist Church in Bay View Road, Port St. Mary. The church was acquired by Kirk Maughold when this Methodist Church and the Port St. Mary's Baptist Church combined. The combined church had no use for a pipe organ in its style of service and Kirk Maughold was looking for a larger instrument as part of a project for the Millennium.
Kirk Maughold engaged Peter Jones to renovate, re-design and rebuild the instrument. Today this instrument has electic action throughout. The case front is unusual as it incorporates parts of the two orginal case alongside new material.
"Tonally, all the orginal stops have survived, revoiced to suit their new position, and the organ has good range of effects for use in servie playing, recitals and concerts." (
